Entrances API Get entrances, access points, and building data for any address
Given an address, the Entrances API returns the exact location of every entrance, what access points you need to pass through, and the building and compound context.
Response ├── place_name, address, lat/lng ├── entrances[] shared and unit entrances to the place ├── access_points[] gates / checkpoints to reach it ├── building {} type, geofence, floor count └── compound {} | null compound context, if inside one Most responses have compound: null — the address maps to a standalone building. When the building sits inside a compound (mall, campus, gated community), the compound field provides the boundary, type, and ID you can use to fetch the full compound view.
